The closet poet with ambitions beyond the military died serving his country. His family and friends are left to deal with anger, sorrow and uncertainty.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. - Paulette Crawford-Webb felt giddy when her daughter called her at work to say two military men were at the door. Her son, Army Staff Sgt. Morgan Kennon, was due home soon from Iraq for her 47th birthday. The "military men" had to be Morgan; her son and daughter were pulling a prank.

When I had originally read this, I had not be sure whether to post this. I am not generally fond of the Sun. I read each day of the loss of our finest, most courageous young men and women.

But, then I thought, it is nice to put a face on a name of one of military members who lost their life. He seems like loved young man. I may not have known him, but, it was an honor to read about him and those he touched.
